Of course it COULD be. Even a simple substitution cipher could be used to generate the given ciphertext from the given plaintext since they both have the same number of characters. Whether or not it actually IS a valid ciphertext depends on the algorithm used to encrypt it.

Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, while confusion refers to a lack of clarity or understanding in a situation. In cryptography, confusion is associated with creating complexity and making the relationship between the plaintext and ciphertext obscure, while diffusion refers to dispersing the influence of individual plaintext elements over multiple ciphertext elements to enhance security.

Ciphertext is the other word for code or encoded text in information security. The process of converting ciphertext back to plain text is called decryption.

1 answer


Plaintext is easily readable or, to be more accurate, decrypted/unencrypted text.

This is opposed to ciphertext, which is encrypted.

If you used an encryption algorithm to encode your message of "Hello, there" to "4hgu28fhdjf83291".

The plaintext form would be: "Hello, there"

The ciphertext form would be: "4hgu28fhdjf83291"

following steps are involved in symmetric cryptography

1- sender creates a ciphertext message by encrypting the plain text message with a symmetric encryption algorithm and a shared key.

2- the sender sends the ciphertext message to the recipient.

3- the recipient decrypts the ciphertext message into plain text with a shared key.

In CBC mode, left shift refers to the operation of shifting the previous block of ciphertext to the left to combine it with the current plaintext block before encryption. This helps to add diffusion and provides additional security by preventing patterns in the plaintext from being easily identified in the ciphertext.

2 answers


Assume Plaintext = P, Ciphertext = C, and the Key = K.

C = P * K

Therefore, multiply both sides by the inverse of P and you will get:

C * P^(-1) = K

Or, (ciphertext) * (inverse plaintext) = key

If the size of the key is known as well, then use that same size when creating P and C matrices.

The kind of attack you are referring to is known as a known-plaintext attack. In this type of attack, the attacker has access to both the plaintext and the corresponding ciphertext, and the goal is to deduce the encryption key or algorithm used. By analyzing the patterns or relationships between the known plaintext and ciphertext, the attacker can potentially uncover vulnerabilities in the cryptosystem.

The Playfair is susceptible to digraph frequency analysis. Separate the plaintext into digraphs and do a frequency count. Once you've found that, compare the digraph frequency of the ciphertext to the digraph frequency of English and see how it might fit in to the Playfair grid. An intimate understanding of how letters in the grid relate to each other and implications of how the grid is affected by correspondences between the ciphertext and plaintext is critical. I'll try to post a help video on YouTube in the near future.

A symmetric cipher means that the key is the same for scrambling and unscrambling the data. Symmetric = same

No. A substitution can be to an entirely different alphabet. (As an example, read the Arthur Conan Doyle Sherlock Holmes "Case of the Dancing men.") One plaintext symbol can convert to several ciphertext symbols, or vice versa. For example, Morse code is a form of substitution of alphabetic letters to dots and dashes. Two plaintext characters could map the same ciphertext character as long as the recipient could distinguish between the two.

1 answer


The process of converting plaintext into ciphertext is called encryption.

Once encrypted, only trusted recipients (those who have a copy of the public encryption key) can revert the process and recover the plain text.

A related process is called authentication. It is used by the trusted recipient to ensure that the plain text was recovered correctly, since the wrong key will seemingly successfully decrypt the cypher into meaningless data.

Encryption and authentication are almost always used together.

Every block cipher involves a transformation of a block of plaintext into a block of ciphertext, where the transformation depends on the key.

The mechanism of diffusion seeks to make the statistical relationship between the plaintext and ciphertext as complex as possible in order to thwart (hinder or prevent) attempts to deduce the key.

Confusion seeks to make the relationship between statistics of the cipher text and the value of the encryption key as complex as possible, again to thwart attempts to discover the key.

If used properly, the one-time pad is an unbreakable encryption system. To implement it, two parties agree on an invertible transformation on messages and a random key (such as a random number or sequence of numbers). The random key is then used to encrypt and decrypt the message, and if it is only used once, will leave no meaningful pattern in the ciphertext. Thus malicious third parties that intercept the ciphertext will be unable to derive the original message from it. The random key is the one-time pad because it can be used only once.

A monoalphabetic cipher uses fixed substitution over the entire message, whereas a polyalphabetic cipher uses a number of substitutions at different positions in the message, where a unit from the plaintext is mapped to one of several possibilities in the ciphertext and vice versa.

Confusion is a concept in cryptography that aims to make the relationship between the ciphertext and the encryption key as complex as possible, making it hard to decrypt a message without the key. Diffusion is another concept in cryptography that involves spreading the influence of a single plaintext bit over many ciphertext bits, to make the encrypted message resistant to statistical attacks. In summary, confusion focuses on hiding the relationship between the plaintext and the key, while diffusion focuses on spreading the influence of the plaintext throughout the ciphertext.

In a substitution cipher, each letter in the plaintext is replaced with a different letter according to a predetermined key. This key defines the mapping of each letter to its substitution, creating a one-to-one correspondence. When the recipient receives the ciphertext, they can reverse the substitution using the same key to reveal the original message.

RSA decryption using a public key involves the recipient using the public key provided by the sender to decrypt the encrypted message. The recipient uses the public key to raise the ciphertext to the power of the public exponent, and then takes the result modulo the public modulus to obtain the original plaintext message.

The reasoning for the Feistel cipher, as shown in Figure 3.6 applies in the case of

DES. We only have to show the effect of the IP and IP-1 functions. For encryption,

the input to the final IP-1 is RE16 LE16. The output of that stage is the ciphertext.

On decryption, the first step is to take the ciphertext and pass it through IP. Because

IP is the inverse of IP-1, the result of this operation is just RE16 LE16, which is

equivalent to LD0 RD0. Then, we follow the same reasoning as with the Feistel

cipher to reach a point where LE0 = RD16 and RE0 = LD16. Decryption is completed

by passing LD0 RD0 through IP-1. Again, because IP is the inverse of IP-1, passing

the plaintext through IP as the first step of encryption yields LD0 RD0, thus

showing that decryption is the inverse of encryption.

cryptography, encryption is the process of transforming information (referred to as plaintext) using an algorithm (called a cipher) to make it unreadable to anyone except those possessing special knowledge, usually referred to as a key. The result of the process is information (in cryptography, referred to as ciphertext). The reverse process, i.e., to make the encrypted information readable again, is referred to as decryption (i.e., to make it unencrypted).

Data encryption the process of scrambling stored or transmitted information so that it is unintelligible until it is unscrambled by the intended recipient. Historically, data encryption has been used primarily to protect diplomatic and military secrets from foreign governments. It is also now used increasingly by the financial industry to protect money transfers, by merchants to protect credit-card information in electronic commerce, and by corporations to secure sensitive communications of proprietary information.

All modern cryptography is based on the use of algorithms to scramble (encrypt) the original message, called plaintext, into unintelligible babble, called ciphertext. The operation of the algorithm requires the use of a key. Until 1976 the algorithms were symmetric, that is, the key used to encrypt the plaintext was the same as the key used to decrypt the ciphertext.

If the Voynich Manuscript is (as now seems most likely) a genuine ciphertext dating to the first half of the 15th century, it is most probably an enciphered book of secrets i.e. it contains herbal, medical, astronomical/astrological, balneological, and engineering (mechanical) secrets. Conversely, it is probably not a book of alchemy, necromancy, or heresy.

It would be nice to be able to say more with any certainty, but that's about as far as it goes for the moment, sorry!

unconditional security

no matter how much computer power or time is available, the cipher cannot be broken since the ciphertext provides insufficient information to uniquely determine the corresponding plaintext

computational security

given limited computing resources (eg time needed for calculations is greater than age of universe), the cipher cannot be broken

Cryptanalysis is the study of taking encrypted data, and trying to unencrypt it without use of the key. The other side of cryptography, cryptanalysis is used to break codes by finding weaknesses within it. In addition to being used by hackers with bad intentions, cryptanalysis is also often used by the military. Cryptanalysis is also appropriately used by designers of encryption systems to find, and subsequently correct, any weaknesses that may exist in the system under design. There are several types of attacks that a cryptanalyst may use to break a code, depending on how much information they have. A ciphertext-only attack is one where the cryptanalyst has a piece of ciphertext (text that has already been encrypted), with no plaintext (unencrypted text). This is probably the most difficult type of cryptanalysis, and calls for a bit of guesswork. In a known-plaintext attack, the cryptanalyst has both a piece of ciphertext and the corresponding piece of plaintext. Other types of attacks may involve trying to derive a key through trickery or theft. The "man-in-the-middle" attack is one example. In this attack, the cryptanalyst places a piece of surveillance software in between two parties that communicate. When the parties' keys are exchanged for secure communication, they exchange their keys with the attacker instead of each other. The ultimate goal of the cryptanalyst however, is to derive the key, so that all ciphertext can be easily deciphered. A brute-force attack is one way of doing so. In this type of attack, the cryptanalyst tries every possible combination until the correct key is identified. Although using longer keys make the derivation less statistically likely to be successful, faster computers, continue to make brute-force attacks feasible. Networking a set of computers together in a grid, combines their strength; their cumulative power can be used to break long keys. The longest keys used, 128-bit keys, remain the strongest, and less likely to be subject to a brute-force attack. At its core, cryptanalysis is a science of mathematics, probability and fast computers; cryptanalyst's also usually require some persistence, intuition, guesswork and some general knowledge of the target. Cryptanalysis also has an interesting historical element; the famous Enigma machine, used by the Germans to send secret messages, was ultimately cracked by members of the Polish resistance and transferred to the British.

With (OFB) output feed back, a random 64-bit number, known as the IV is encrypted with the weak secret key to create the one-time pad. A weak DES secret key is one which is either all 1's, 0's or alternating ones and zeros. The plain text is XOred with as many bits of the generated one-time pad. If a weak key patterns will emerge in the ciphertext. - Eric Appelboom

Encryption uses a algorithm to apply and series of symbols and numbers to sensitive data like a password or private data. There are varying levels of encryption form low level to very high government level.

Encryption is a type of security for you to use when on your computer. Many of us tend to enter our personal information on our computer not realizing that people hack computers everyday and seal your information. This can led to something as bad as identity theft. When you use encryption you basically use a code for all of your information that only you can understand. This can definitely protect you from someone stealing your personal information.
